A company called HUVr got our geek motors revved this week by releasing a viral video allegedly advertising their product, a Back to the Future 2 style hover board, using Christopher Loyd to tease us and Tony Hawk to demonstrate. Unfortunately, according their crack team of journalists, CNET seems to have debunked this as a prank by Funny or Die. Lets hope their as wrong as my use of "their", which they tend to be.
So, even after their amazingly nostalgic and self-abusing Superbowl commercial, CNNMoney reports that Radio Shack is closing around 20% of their stores this year, totaling around 1,100 locations. Seems like more people have realized how to spend three minutes Googling their problems, and even less time buying their solutions on Amazon.
In news I didn't see coming at all, F-Secure states that 97% of all mobile malware was Android based in our year of 2013. On a lighter note, only 0.1% of that is from the Play Store, which I'm pretty sure was strictly based on the fake GTA5 iFruit app that was up for 7 whole hours.
Coming off an Olympic-induced patriotic high, a new study shows 11% of Americans think HTML is a sexually transmitted disease. Maybe the Silicone Valley nerds were onto something...
Counting the days until it's brutal execution, Windows XP still has almost triple the marketshare (29%) of its 8 and 8.1 counterparts combined. Thats a bold move for IT directors. Lets see how this plan works out for them.
The fact that the Jurassic Park theme song has been stuck in my head for a few weeks now makes my last find a bit ironic. Apparently somebody wrote this website. Enjoy.
